Eastenders~Carter Boy

Chapter 10~The Lock in

Griffin's POV
That was that,we had our plan.We thought it was completely foolproof.We had just finished our plotting when our dads came in.

"Listen,boys your mothers are coming in soon but before then we are throwing you a lifeline"Mick said."You can either tell the truth or stick with you original story and quite frankly we don't believe that one so times ticking"Jack,my step dad said.

No one spoke "Fine,the wrath of your mothers it is then"Billy said as they all left the room.

"Prepare yourselves lads"James said as we heard the high heels marching towards us."Right,we have decided on a suitable punishment unless one of you tell us what really happen down there"Linda said.

"We already told ye what happen,ye just don't believe us"Cian replied."Yeah well Tiffany says differently".Honey spoke."Yeah,well she's lying".No one spoke.

"Ye don't believe us at all do ye"I said.They didn't answer.I nudged James and Cian to tell them that we should use the plan to keep quiet from now on.

"Right ye have 5 seconds to start talking or the punishments come into play".Mum said "5....... 4........ 3......... 2.........1,Fine ye made your choices now stand up".We all looked at each other in confusion.

"You heard her stand up"Honey said.We did what we were told and stood up.Our moms then came over and started to feel our pockets and legs."Are ye frisking us?"James asked smiling.I grinned.

"Yep and there we go"Linda said pulling James' phone out of his pocket.Then my mum found mine and Honey found Cian's."Oh no you can't"I said,our smiles soon turned to frowns."Well we did"My mum replied grinning.

They all stepped away "Anything ye want to say before these are gone".We didn't speak."Fine lets go"Honey said as they went to leave.We went to follow them.

"Oh you are not going anywhere"My mum said"Ye are staying in here until ye tell us the truth"."That's captivity"Cian said."Too bad you don't tell the truth then"Honey said as they closed the door and locked it from the outside.

I ran to the door and tried to open it."It's no use they have locked us in"Cian said."Tell us what really happened and ye can come out"Linda said from the other side of the door.

"We already did"I replied."No you told us a story that didn't quite stick".My mum said back to me."So we are going to go downstairs and enjoy the rest of the reception and apologise to Jane and Ian for what happened to Bobby".

"If ye change your minds about telling the truth someone will be up every 30 minutes or so"Honey said as we heard disappear downstairs.

That was it,just us three in a room with no phones.This was going to be a nightmare.

We all sat back on the couch.It was silent for a good minute.Then James smiled and started to chuckle which soon turned into his laugh that sounded like Adam Thomas' it was so infectious that me and Cian burst out laughing as well until we stopped and I said"Wait why are we laughing".

"Because my good friend we may be locked in a room with no phones but we do have a TV that works".James grabbed the remote and Cian pulled the coffee table closer to the couch so we could put out feet up.

We flicked through the channels it was 3:00 on a Saturday so there must be some football on.We got to Sky Sports and saw that it was Man City vs Arsenal  so that meant James' team vs my team.I loved Arsenal and James loved Man City but Cian was a West Ham fan so he never won anything.

It was 15 minutes in already but it was still nil-nil.Suddenly Man City had a shot but it just hit off the crossbar so James stood up in excitement but when it hit the crossbar he sat back down,devastated.

Then we heard a rustling sound coming from the couch when we moved.James reached under the arm piece and found a packet of Doritos, a Cadbury chocolate bar and a box of Malteasers.

He laughed,as he showed us his discovery.We put them on the table and I said"This is an ideal punishment isn't it"with a grin on my face.

Then we heard high heels coming up.Quickly James turned off the TV,I hid the sweets and Cian moved the table back and we pretended to be bored."Boys"someone said from outside the door."Who's that"I mouthed to the boys.

James recognised the voice and ran to the door "Whitney" he said as he knelt down beside the door,"What are you doing you should be downstairs".

"I said I'd check on ye for your mums and I needed to tell ye I know ye were telling the truth"she replied.

"How?"I asked."Because I was listening to your game of Truth and Dare"."Why didn't you say something"Cian said.

"Because they wouldn't have believed me they would have said I was just sticking up for James so I'll try and get ye out as soon as possible but for now you'll have to wait" Whitney replied as she left to go back to the reception.

"Great"I said sarcastically "More Tv and less Snapchat for us"."Whoop, Whoop"James said unenthusiastic.We laughed and turned back on the match it was half time but still nil-nil."We will get bored eventually,what will we do then" I thought in my head.
